Alexus Winston’s
star is definitely on the rise. With talent to rival her looks,
it won’t be long until she’s a bankable name in mainstream
entertainment. Winston’s high-profile appearances on the E!
Entertainment Television show Wild On! have garnered a lot of
well-deserved media attention, and as a result, the actress and
model is becoming a favorite in men’s lifestyle publications.
Flush from a photo feature in Maxim magazine, former Penthouse
Pet of the Year and international cover girl Winston comments,
“Shooting for Maxim is one of the highlights of my career. It
was so much fun, and the staff is incredible. I am absolutely
fortunate to have worked with them.”
In addition to a series of awesome still images, Maxim filmed
the Soho Grand Hotel shoot. The video can be viewed at
www.maximonline.com in the Maxim Lounge.
Other men’s lifestyle magazines are in queue to lens Winston,
who just wrapped filming in the Roger Corman film Final Exam, in
which she plays a district attorney.
The sunny, upbeat TV personality and burgeoning actress who grew
up in the private resort community of Spring Valley Lake, in the
High Desert of California, is an athlete with a passion for long
distance running, fitness and outdoor sports. An experienced
wakeboarder, Winston and her friends churn up the water on her
Ski Nautique boat every chance they get.
Winston, as one of Penthouse magazine's most published beauties
worldwide since her 1997 debut – "and by far the most popular,"
according to Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione, -- is
transitioning gracefully to mainstream entertainment, with an LA
Times interview, covers for AVN Online and the 2004 Mystique
calendar, as well as upcoming shoots for sports publications.
So far, Winston has gotten Wild On! from New York City's famed
Webster Hall nightclub, and then jetted off, TV crew in tow, to
Costa Rica in search of the exotic locale's sizzling nightlife.
Although she has already starred in a TV pilot that was filmed
in New York (included in her impressive demo reel), Winston,
like all serious actors, remains relentless in further refining
her thespian craft, dedicating countless hours each week to
acting classes with respected coach Barry Primus (Robert De
Niro) as she explores the art's many genres and nuances.
In addition to the TV pilot and her Wild On! assignments,
Winston is considering several movie scripts that have crossed
her desk, which isn't surprising since she already possesses
name-brand appeal. What is surprising, however, is that her
smooth shift to TV personality has occurred without the clout of
an agent.
Winston says she's accomplishing this odds-defying feat through
"networking, acting classes, getting a p.r. firm, and busting my
butt," she laughs. "I posed for Penthouse, I'm happy about it,
and now I am moving forward in my acting career."
A consummate professional with dynamic talent and perseverance,
she’s definitely Alexus MAXIMUS. |
